Bard leveling location suggestions

[Tehwoot]

I am currently lvl 26 and was kiting in OT until the mobs recently are conning to low. The wiki doesn't give good suggestions and I was looking for some other options for kiting.

Thanks,

WW giant fort? lots of HP on them but doable.

South Karana...aviaks? tesch mas gnolls outside splitpaw? Random roamers there?

Just a couple of thoughts :p

Do the higher level skeletons and tigers in LOIO. This got me from 25-31 ish.

Thanks guys, got to LOIO last night and seemed ok so far, I had tried giants at WW but didn't seem like I could swarm them due to the huge hitbox.

exactly

swish, do you even kite?

Have you tried this guide? http://wiki.project1999.com/Deajay%27s_AoE_Bard_Leveling_Location_Guide

[Tehwoot]

Yes but at 26 that is a terrible suggestion. WW is an awful place to swarm kite. Poor visibility and to many wandering casters that destroy you.

Don't miss the undead towers.
Don't pull ANY goblins unless you're at the end of the pull.
Casters ruin everything.

Tigers, skellies (best), grimalkins, iksars, etc


Will take you 24-32 np.

Then you can go back to OT.

South Karana works really well until 32.

Sk has been extremely crowded lately. I think LOIO is better for 24 to thirty though in any case due to mob density. Casters are a problem though if you're not careful. Never understood why people want to kite blues when they could be doing yellows and reds. Double dotting gets even kills reds at a pretty good pace. I left OT at twenty four and probably going to go back to OT around thirty one or two to see if most mobs are yellow or just barely red.

30-38ish I strongly suggest to do low hps kite in Firiona Vie , no ones hunt there , so you can pulll 100ish dogs at a time , easy to pull , few casters to avoid, great place , you can sell/bank in the zone.

[Mandalore93]

If you have a partner to do low HP kites with I've heard FM is great at 30-38 as well with 300+ mob pulls.

I'd actually recommend completely skipping kiting, and get in a dungeon

learn how to group, as eventually you'll have to anyway

best way to learn (imo) is to pick the worst made up group you can, and find a way to fit in all your skills to make the group work


it's unorthodox, but you end up really well rounded, and learn how to play the crap out of your class

Yeah, bard AE kiting is insane EXP, completely unrivaled in the game, but you do miss out on a lot by doing it exclusively.
